The future of antenna, transducer, and radome radar systems will be dominated by commercial aircraft and radar systems.

Antenna, transducer, and radome processing technology is developed specifically for reliability in radar, sonar and communication systems, by detection and tracking of small, non-cooperative, low radar-cross section, non-linearly moving targets for radar and sonar applications. Antennas, transducers, and radomes can be used for airspace, marine, and ground security applications to monitor a wide range of targets including aircraft, ultra lights, unmanned aerial systems, helicopters, ships, boats, vehicles, pedestrians, and underwater objects.

Antenna, transducer, and radome systems exist in various base applications like airspace radars, military and communication systems, submarine screening systems and commercial aircrafts.

According to Market Research, Aerospace and Defense business unit at MarketsandMarkets, “With respect to products, radar systems account for 35%, sonar 25%, and communication systems 40% of the antenna, transducer, and radome market. Airborne systems have the highest CAGR across all platforms.”

The typical lifecycle of antenna, transducer, and radome systems last for 15-20 years with a mid-life upgrade in both the software and hardware components. The research and development process for antenna, transducer, and radome generally take 1-3 years.
